November was such a shitty month weatherwise I quickly switched to off peak charging. After a bit of monitoring I've settled onto 80% charge, this covers my useage (usually) and allows some capacity not to waste any solar if the sun does peek out from behind the drizzle! Come the better weather, I will knock off the overnight charging.
I use 3700w and getting soon 16X Jinko Tiger Neo 420W All Black Panels/Lux Hybrid 5kW Inverter/ 4.8kWh Battery Storage including long leads for £11k or about 20 panels 12k half on back half on front the panels will go is it worth it getting more panels and if u had to say how long for it to pay its self back aslo we spend around £130 A month on electricity atm
Allen upgrade your battery inverter too (not the fronius) right now it’s limited to3kwh output also I would recommend as winter rolls on it don’t really charge to 100% if you’re upgrading to cover your heat pump I recommend about 15kwh - 20kwh minimum to cover all electric needs and a cop of 3.5
Hi @ram64man Thank you for the message. I have looked into this and looking at maybe having 2 inverters in the future, I really am testing different things with this one to find the best solutions. I also have V2H coming soon, This will mean i can use the car to power the house. Thanks.
Just use EDF night tariff. 8p a kw. Charge your battery to 9.5kw (biggest size) & use that during the day. 8p a kw electric all year round. No need for solar panels
Hi Amit, we're only be going to be offering on roof panels and the company who installed Allen's solar system aren't operating anymore. It might be helpful to note that an in roof system can look better, but they can be less efficient due to overheating and yield less energy.
I'm considering an 18? Panel system for my house but I've been told some things which have put me off and I would be grateful if you could give me your take please. First off it doesn't matter what your system is producing, your only allowed a 3.6 kW inverter? That to me makes no sense, if my system is generating more than 3 kW I would want to use it. Second if there was a power cut the system would go off as well as it needs to "see" mains voltage to operate?
Cost neutral? I have been advised twice that I will save £650 per annum which is less than half consumption. I would be dead before it pays for itself.
@@Teapot69 i have seen reports that if the panels are not cleaned every 2-3 months they lose 50% of their power. So imagine what they will be like if they never been cleaned
Batteries no longer make sense when Octopus Agile Outgoing pays more than the incoming cost of electricity. Neither do short lived Chinese brands. Hope Heatable doesn't follow the herd and offers quality brands like MyEnergi Libbi, LG, Tesla etc.
Of course it makes sense to have batteries. You can charge them at night at a 10p and that's your cost at winter when your panels don't cover your usage
In a few years, it might take 3 hours and 15 minutes instead of 3 hours to charge a battery on a sunny day. But I'd worry more about how long the battery lasts. Even when it's old, it can still work at 60% efficiency, which isn't bad. Normally, you don't need a battery to use solar electricity during the day. The guy was right when he said that as you get older, your income goes down. So, solar power could be a good investment if your house is suitable for it
If your systems running correctly then you would expect to see a significant decrease around the summer months. A battery is the key driver of the energy savings as you store all the free energy you generate in the day, and then most of your electricity at night should be free. However, this is entirely dependent on the size of your system, battery and on how much energy your household uses.
Totally agree I got two fox ess batteries hv2600 5.2kws and they only give half that out from being 100% charged they will never pay for themselves Stupid me
How are you going to get any independent facts through a solar panel company telling you what to say 😂😂😂😂😂, most people ain't got batteries 😂😂😂 I smell lies
Thank you for coming to visit 👍
Thanks for having us!
Strange how no questions have been answered, and no costings
@@Heatableso why have you lied and what are were the original cost

Thanks for posting, I’ll check some of your other videos & look forward to the updates.
Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment! Don't forget to subscribe if you want to keep posted on our solar updates!
Seems to me if you have a heat pump (which currently aren’t that effective), solar won’t run the system in winter when you need it.
I have a heat pump and it is very effective.
Thanks for teaching us
You're welcome Rofek - thanks for watching!

Are you on a supply from EDF or fo you use solar panels for electric?
@@ajmalhussain3574 I just charge my 9.5wk battery between 1am & 6am & empty it into the house through the day. 24 hours a day of 8p a kw with EDF
Allen what battery are you going to install? Is the givenergy really stable software wise and has it glitched at all?
Still no answer 😂😂😂
I am in Surrey, I like
The look of the roof integrated solar panels. Do you know how I can find an installer that does this style?
Hi Amit, we're only be going to be offering on roof panels and the company who installed Allen's solar system aren't operating anymore. It might be helpful to note that an in roof system can look better, but they can be less efficient due to overheating and yield less energy.
Can you tell everyone how much this system cost and how long will take you to get the money back?
If you go on Allen Hart's UA-cam channel, he's done 2 videos detailing everything, including cost.

What battery is Allen looking to replace the givenergy batteries with?
I would imagine that he is looking at the new GivEnergy 9.5kwh batteries.
Don’t forget after 20 years or so you will need new panels…….so any profit you make has gone
You typically pay back a system within 10-11 years so the other 9 in that case would be profit 🙌
Isn't it just the efficiency that deteriorates, like to 90-80% depending on your panels. . . Just asking ?
@@Teapot69 i have seen reports that if the panels are not cleaned every 2-3 months they lose 50% of their power.

@@avibm948 Not a chance unless you have an EV and even then it's 12p per kWh
@@singlendhot8628 Octopus Go reduced to 9.5p last week as it a variable tariff
panels won't be the same efficient in a few years' time for sure.

As you get older you can tailor your life to use the power during the day too.
I have 10 Solar panels fixed but my Gas @ Electric bill is very high 😢 i can see now battery is 98% waste of money 😮😮😮😮

Well where is the visit in January and February pal - it’s easy blagging a customer but go back atleast

Waffle waffle waffle
So no real facts just more lies
